Some close-ups on the G007-MB (MB is button fly, they also have an MZ version)

And finally, here are the last two.

the copper label shots are interesting. Do they feel much lighter than the vintage label?

No, but they are much softer due to the fact they are one wash. The cotton/cottonfibres used on the Copper Labels is also somewhat different than the Vintage Label. On tech-sheet they are one oz lighter than Vintage Label, 14.7 oz.

[Max Power]

Yeah, that's why I asked. My 0201 felt much stiffer than my 0905 SP which fools you when estimating their weight.

But your 0905 SP had the same denimweight as the 0201. The thing that makes the difference in the "feel" of the denim being heavy, is the starch.

What surprises me though, is that the one wash models take creasing very well.

[Max Power]

well, if you soak the vintage label models, they feel not that stiffer than the GTW. But it took me longer to get creases, that's right. May aso be the wider cut. But when you wear them 7 months straight like I did, they crease, believe me

I meant they crease very well, given they are really soft. The Copper Labels then...

Are the GTW's starched? I remember my Copper Labels really weren't that stiff.

[Max Power]

No, they're not. But pretty densely woven, I think.

Glad to see some Copper Label here :-)

Here are my commuting jeans after about a month on/off wear (I use the jeans only for cycling), 1 soak... O yeah, we're talking G004-MB.

Shit that looks nice. Any other close ups of the denim or other details?

You should browse the thread They have been posted in the past, both models. If I have the time I will look it up for you and edit my post.

But they still are nice though, surely with the autograph of Manabe himself

Gorgeous but the prob with the sig is I would never wear them!

Had these for a while, but haven't put any wear on them. I feel that the fit is kinda weird on me. The rise is a little too much, will that go away after some wear?????

if not might actually sell these

[shinobi2000]

is that just personal preference or do you really think they are higher than they should be? They look ok from those pics

Well I bike pretty much everyday and when I wore these I felt my crotch had no room to breath on and off the bike. Is that a rise problem or am I wrong?

This is not the case with a pair of A.P.Cs that I have the Levis I have.

[Guest nooblet333]

They look pretty good and jeans looks great.

[Tiro]

looks like a solid fit to me

[olmecasteve]

Thanks a lot for the input

[TheNorthern]

yup.. the higher the rise the less comfortable biking will become

that is if you are a dude

Is that a rise problem or am I wrong?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

really? IMO if you have a higher rise you are able to sag them a little more hence more room in the crotch

[TheNorthern]

i got that backwards

i ment to say lower

also the more you sag your jeans the more the crotch is stressed, no ?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

not necessarily I think. depends also how tight the thighs are and stuff.
